Each foundation course also stresses thedevelopment of essential skills, such as problem-solving, oral and written communication,application of the design process, teamwork, project management, computer analysis methods,laboratory investigation, data analysis and model development. Students go on to buildsubstantial depth in some of the foundation areas in disciplinary courses, while other topics maynot be further developed, depending on their chosen discipline.One of the foundation courses taken during the freshman year is EAS107P Introduction toEngineering Project-Based.

If theaverage peer evaluation for an individual student is less than 70%; then their design report gradeis appropriately weighted. Starting in 2007-8 academic year, UMBC began charging a laboratory fee of $40.00 perstudent for this course. Consequently, the design teams are provided materials order forms(along with a list of venders from which they can order their construction materials) and eachteam was required to submitt the materials order form to the instructor. The due date of thematerials order form provided one of the design project milestones of the project whose intent isto ensure

At ECU, student teams are used in a cohort learning environment to build robots.The robot building project serves as a platform for experiential learning in engineeringdisciplines and also serves to develop problem solving skills, interpersonal skills, and ethics. Arobotics competition is embedded into the introductory class work to increase levels ofparticipation, interest and challenge for the freshmen. During classroom and laboratory exercisesleading up to the competition, students build mobile robots to compete in a treasure-huntinggame

They learned the basic formulation of fluid mechanicsequations, which lead to application of continuity and Bernoulli’s equations. Students had anopportunity to verify these equations through hands-on projects and direct measurements in thethermos-fluid laboratory. Also, students were introduced to basic force analysis on aerodynamicvehicles, with an emphasis on lift generation airfoils. They were also given the opportunity touse simulation tools to better understand flow properties and their effect on the aerodynamicloads.Through this session of the SEE program, students were introduced to both theoretical andexperimental topics related to

If students had class, or needed toattend their professor’s office hours or meet with student groups, or utilize laboratory or studiofacilities in their respective colleges, they were able to step out for these engagements and thenreturn. The general idea was to have a central study location that students would study in forthree days straight during the day. They also had vouchers which could be used for lunch. After5:20 pm they could continue their regular evening schedules, which might include studying orcompleting final assignments. This was a mandatory event. On Day 1
